2022 THE ROSES – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Genuine early tempo primarily from Okalani, Festival Dancer and Chilko Lake over Barb Raider and Queenmaker. BARB RAIDER (1) is covering plenty of territory, racing in her fourth state in as many starts but her form is holding well. Raced on pace and fought hard to miss a G1 success by just a head in the Australian Oaks in Adelaide four weeks ago. If she performs to that level again she will be tough to stop.
SMIRK (9) is progressing nicely, scoring narrowly in Sydney then chasing well to place in the Gold Coast Bracelet. Has upside and will be at her peak now. BELLE SAVOIR (6) is lightly raced but on the up and her close second at Sandown last start suggests she is looking for this journey. GIN MARTINI (3) boxed on last start and is worth a place in the exotics while STALKING (5) settled back but worked home in the Bracelet. The extra 200m suits.
